Ham & Cheese Deli

Finally found it!!! I've been craving a proper breakfast sandwich for years in the city. Whenever you do a search on Yelp or Google it just takes a while to sift through their results due to the challenge of getting the user what they actually want. So after many attempts I found Ham and Cheese Deli.I got the ham a good day, and it hit the spot. The bread was a perfect sourdough crunch that absorbed the juices from the meat, cheese and eggs. While the flavor gave you a savory taste in every bite. The right amount of salty, spicy, and umami.While we were waiting for our food, we played some of the retro arcade machines and had so much fun!Definitely will return next weekend!

Conveniently located between the Legion and the DeYoung museums, this shop offers a good sandwich before -- or between -- exhibitions.We ordered a Little Devil Egg Salad Sandwich and a Shrooms over my hammie -- MacKenzie Chung Fegan's recommendation -- at the counter before taking one of the few seats by the window. The sandwiches came quickly, along with a few small slices of pickles. These sandwiches aren't huge, we enjoyed them both, especially the small kick provided by the Jalapeño in the Egg Salad.We would return if in the neighborhood, wouldn't take a trip to the outer edge of the City for it, though.Practical:- some seating inside, supposedly more seating on the sidewalk- street parking in the Richmond district is always difficult- bring quarters and plain for some time to enjoy the classic arcade games

I've been living in the outer richmond for 25 years and despite this little gem being right under my nose, I somehow missed it. #livingunderarockWalked in there today and was WOWED by the array of amazing sandwiches. That said, I've only recently begun eating turkey again (failed vegetarian) and Grant, the owner, was kind enough to let me order the turkey sando off the kids menu. While he assured me it would be underwhelming, it is THE BEST TURKEY SANDO I think I've had. Really. Not only is this place serving up great food, it has an adjoining arcade, which the KID IN ME (pun intended) has every intention of checking out next. 5 stars, sir. And, I'll be back next Thursday!

Reading all these great reviews, so I had to try a sandwich to see if it lived up to the hype! I grabbed my bf and headed towards the richmond. I didn't really read the reviews to see which sandwich was highly recommended, so we just ordered what sounded good. We both swapped 1/2 a sandwich so we got a taste of both. The guy at the cashier was nice and told us they had menus on the side so we could see what was in each sandwich. ***OUR PICKS***CALIFORNIA ST. ~ Diestel farms turkey, evergood pastrami, avocado, pickled onion, lettuce, tomato, lemon pepper mayo on slab. This was a good combo having lettuce and tomato to give it freshness, so the sandwich wasn't too salty. Though it could have been heated and toasted a bit more. JAMBON ET FROMAGE ~ PARISIAN HAM, cured pork loin, prosciutto, hot mustard, fontina, Gruyère, olive spread, pickles on a hoagie. This sandwich was way too salty for me. It's missing lettuce and tomato to give your palate a break from the salt! I've had many sandwiches with cured meat, but this would make your blood pressure go up the roof! Like the other sandwich, I think it would have been nicer to get that crunch when you bite into the sandwich, but it was barely warm when we got it and no melted cheese which would have made it so much better. It's a cute cafe with a few tables inside and outside. We chose inside at the arcade table and tried a few games after eating our sandwich, but it kept refreshing right in the middle of a game! It's free so you can't complain, but it becomes frustrating even when you don't pay for it. The sandwiches are ok, but nothing special IMO. Plenty of great sandwich shops in SF that are less expensive and taste better. So unless you live around the corner, it's not worth traveling across the city for this. And $35 for 2 sandwiches is pretty steep. They charge 9% for SF fair wage, which is more than sales tax.

I got the jambon et fromage and it was perfect! Warm and hearty, they really pack these sandwiches with meat which is so refreshing to see these days! The decor is so cute inside!! Need to come back and try more of their menu!

Super solid breakfast spot in Richmond/presidio heights! The service was quick and they have an arcade inside and three outdoor tables for a nice day. The breakfast sandwich and burrito were a good portion size and tasted fresh. The meat lovers burrito didn't seem to have any other meat than ham, and also was a little messy given the salsa wrapped inside. Would recommend for a casual breakfast in the area!

When my boyfriend and I were looking for a new sandwich shop to try, this was the first place that came up with five star reviews. We decided we stop in and he said he's always seen the store in the corner but there's always a line out the door. Luckily for us there was no line but maybe because it was around 11 AM?! Lol.I ordered the California Street sandwich without pastrami since I don't usually eat red meat. He ordered the specialty Paul Rubin something or rather and I really liked the funky local names they used. After I ordered, I realize they had a breakfast sandwich with beyond sausage/plant protein with gruyere cheese and on a biscuit- I will have to come back for that one!!There wasn't much for dining inside maybe a table or two but an adorable 1980s Pac-Man where you actually sat down and looked down at the table/screen as you played! There were a couple more tables outside with chairs you could bring up from different tables for a bigger party. We got our sandwiches to go and I really like the taste and consistency of the sandwich but I wish there were some red pepper flakes or something in the guacamole itself. Perhaps that's why they added pastrami to give an extra kick. I will definitely go back and try their other plant-based breakfast sandwichMy boyfriend said he liked the pastrami Ruben, but it was lacking in a little bit of flavor perhaps something in the toppings or maybe adding something to the dry rub before they cut the pastrami? Overall, they were huge sandwiches for $15 and we only could eat half! So definitely well worth it!! we will definitely be back!!

My boyfriend and I stopped by Ham & Cheese Deli to grab sandwiches on our way to China Beach and we were so happy we did. The deli was popping on the 4th of July holiday, most tables they had outside were taken up. The inside of the deli is so cute - there are retro arcade games, tons of artwork, and bay area sports memorabilia adorning all corners of the cozy shop. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. We ended up ordering the Joe Formaggio, You So Caprese, and Tripping Goat sandwiches. The Joe Formaggio was so good, you can tell that all the ingredients are high quality and fresh. I loved that the pepperoncinis cut through the richness of the meat and cheese with a vinegary, spicy zing. The slab bread was kinda like a thinner focaccia, and it was a nice softer sandwich bread that still held up when I had the other half of my sandwich later. Their menu has a section for vegetarian options, and the two we got were really good. You can tell that there was thought put into these sandwiches, unlike many sandwich shops with only one veggie option that ends up being all their veg put between two pieces of bread. The caprese sandwich had spicy tofu in there, which added such a nice texture and flavor to the sandwich. My boyfriend said he would definitely order this sandwich again. The goat cheese sandwich came with a nice mix of roasted mushrooms, arugula, and a generous topping of goat cheese on a nice hoagie roll. As someone who eats meat, I was not missing that element at all in this sandwich. I can't wait to come back to try out more of their menu. What a wonderful, local spot that I am so happy to get to support in the Richmond community!

A solid sandwich place in the area. They're light but satisfying! These are more your every day sandwiches. Have been here many times and I usually call in my order. Service is fast and friendly. Inside has some arcade games you can play while you wait. There are so many sandwiches to choose from. These are sandwiches that are just the right size, have a solid balance of flavors, and leave you feeling satisfied. Ingredients are fresh. The sandwiches are more flat than tall making them easier to eat. Ham & Cheese is definitely on my rotation of sandwiches to get!

I would've given this 4+ stars for the quality of the Caprese sandwich, which was extremely tasty. But I am taking a star away because I noticed that the staff member making the sandwiches was handling everything with bare hands, including deli meat. This really bothered me, and I also later found a hair in my sandwich, which honestly wouldn't bother me too much but knowing the lack of gloves used in the back really did kill my appetite due to concern for hygiene. I hope management enforces wearing of gloves for this place, and if so, I'd truly love to go back. The staff was very nice.
